Welcome to the assignments page for our course. All weekly assignments will be posted here, whether problem set, practicum, or project. Each module’s assignment is due in class, Thursday of the week listed.

Follow instructions in the assignments themselves for submission. While some early assignments will go in the course blackboard, most will be submitted via GitHub.

NoteAssignments are drafts until the week before they’re due

All assignments are posted in draft form and may change. Each assignment is finalized by Tuesday of the week before it is due β€” so, for example, the assignment due Week 3 is finalized on Tuesday of Week 2.
